Hi I'm new here, both me and my therapists have agreed for years that I have ADHD and I've shown worsening symptoms since I was a kid, my executive functioning is making it impossible to hold a job. I finally want to get on medication for it, but I'm not sure how. I can't afford to get an ADHD evaluation done because they're like $1k+ and I financially support myself but don't make a lot of money. Is it possible to just see a psychiatrist and get ADHD medication, or do you need a formal evaluation and diagnosis from a neurologist to qualify for medication? Any responses, advice, or tips would be helpful! Located in the USA fyi.

Medication/ADHD Evaluation Question
Hi, just thought I'd share the option I chose to get diagnosed,

You can hit the FAQ button and then scroll to billing for cost questions, it's a lot cheaper than what you brought up
It was a smooth and quick process for me personally, and the video calls at home are pretty convenient after you pick who you want to have the evaluation done with.
thanks so much this is really helpful I'll check it out!!
I just wanted to say thank you for the recommendation because they took my insurance and I only had to pay a $10 copay, they got me in the next day and diagnosed me with ADHD and today prescribed me Adderall and I can start tomorrow! Truly the best recommendation ever I never thought I'd find any success in this process so I really appreciate it and recommend anyone else use it that qualifies and needs the help
That's awesome to hear I'm glad I could help! I didn't even really shop around much since I found that place first but it's been great. I love these more modern friendly options
